User Reviews

The app is praised for strong password protection, long-term reliability, supportive developer, and overall usability. However, data loss and backup failures are repeatedly reported, including disappearing notes and backups that cannot be restored after updates. Backup reliability concerns (Google Drive/cloud) exacerbate risk. Security weaknesses, such as unreliable password prompts and potential exposure of notes, raise safety concerns. Additional complaints focus on stability and UI glitches after updates (crashes, themes breaking). Overall, users value Safe Notes for security and practicality but fear data loss and reliability issues.

Pros

Strong password/lock protection for notes.
Long-term reliability; users report using it for years with positive experience.
Responsive developer who fixes issues quickly.
Usability and simplicity; noted as handy and easy to use.

Cons

Repeated data loss: notes or passwords disappearing and not recoverable.
Backup failures and data wiped during updates; backups not restoring.
Security vulnerabilities due to bugs, e.g., password prompt not appearing reliably and potential exposure of notes.
Stability/UI issues after updates, including crashes, exiting, and broken themes.

Recent reviews

I’ve used this app for at least 10 years and it was great. Now all of a sudden ALL of my notes but two disappeared and the backups won’t restore them! I’m devastated! Some were very important.

HIGH RISK!! I’ve been using Safe Notes for many years. Probably not the best place to store passwords & sensitive data. Good luck transferring data to a new iPhone. Even though it worked on your old phone, on your new phone, Safe Notes will give an error message, “Safe Notes cannot save to Google Drive.”
